On the afternoon of the 10th, actress Kim Bora’s agency, Snow Company, released an official statement confirming her divorce from Jo Varn. The announcement stated, “After careful consideration and ample talks, we have amicably proceeded with the divorce process by mutual consent and recently finalized all procedures.”

Kim Bora and Jo Varn, who is six years her senior, had been dating for three years before tying the knot on June 8, 2023. The two first met while working on the 2021 independent film Grotesque Mansion. Their wedding drew attention with a star-studded guest list, including Urban Zakapa’s Cho Hyun-ah, actresses Kim Hye-yoon, Jin Ji-hee, Lee Joo-myung, Song Geon-hee, and AKMU’s Lee Su-hyun, who offered a heartfelt toast in celebration of the couple’s future.

Kim Bora Divorce Confirmed by Snow Company

During the wrap-up interview for her drama Death to Snow White – Black Out in October 2023, Kim Bora opened up about her decision to marry at a relatively young age. “I wanted to show that marriage isn’t as different or scary as I imagined. Of course, I was nervous—nervous about growing up in my imagination. But in reality, nothing felt that different,” she explained.

Reflecting on how marriage changed her emotionally, Kim said, “After getting married, I became more honest with my feelings. My defenses came down when interacting with people. You’re not just marrying one person, you’re marrying into a family. Getting close to them was harder than work.” She also mentioned how her in-laws could understand her quickly, even when she didn’t explain her struggles in detail.

Kim Bora began her acting career in 2005 as a child actress in the drama Wedding. Over the years, she has built an impressive resume with roles in dramas like Who Are You: School 2015, The King in Love, Buam-dong Revenge Club, SKY Castle, Flowers That Bloom at Night, and Death to Snow White – Black Out. She has also directed films including Gang, Blow Me Away, and Grotesque Mansion.

Snow Company closed its statement with a respectful request: “We sincerely ask that you refrain from indiscriminate speculation, sensationalized reports, and spreading falsehoods in this regard. Thank you.”
